Revisiting the differentiation of access restrictions terms to archival documents containing information about a citizen’s personal and family secrets, his private life, as well as information that poses a threat to his safety

The issues related the determination of access restrictions terms towards archival documents containing information about a citizen’s personal and family secrets, his private life, as well as information that poses a threat to his safety are discussed. For the first time, groups of information are identified, for which the access restrictions terms are be determined in accordance with legislative acts of other areas of regulation. The need for more specific consolidation in archival legislation of the types of information to which access should be restricted for a clearly defined period of time is being raised again, taking into account the timeframes for the creation of documents, many of which are already of exclusively historical significance.
